Garda Training College
Refurbishment of existing glazed link corridors and associated structures at Templemore Garda College to improve functionality, safety and compliance.
This architectural project, commissioned by the Office of Public Works (OPW), involves the removal and replacement of existing modern glazed ground-floor circulation corridors and link structures at the Garda Training College in Templemore. The existing structures will be replaced with new, fully insulated, fire-compliant, and durable link buildings with a combination of internal and external finishes—including natural zinc roofing and alu-clad windows. The work must align with fire safety, accessibility, thermal, and aesthetic standards. The project sits within a sensitive context: the Garda College is a working, secure, operational training facility, requiring carefully phased and controlled work.
